Global demand for windows and doors is forecast to rise 4.5% per year to $261 billion in 2023. The window and door markets in China, India, and the Africa/Mideast region will all grow at rapid rates going forward.

China will remain by far the leading national market for windows and doors, accounting for 51% of global sales growth through 2023 due to its significant building construction activity.

Builders and homeowners are increasingly specifying products with high value aesthetic and performance features (e.g., energy efficiency, security).

Greater energy efficiency goals set by increasingly stringent building codes will continue to fuel investment in higher quality windows and doors.
